Patricia Jane (McHugh) Comstock, 85, of La Grange Highlands

LA GRANGE HIGHLANDS, IL – Patricia Jane (McHugh) Comstock, 85, of LaGrange Highlands, Illinois, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2026, with her family at her side.

Born on November 6, 1940, in Missouri Valley, Iowa, Pat was the eldest child and first daughter of the late Samuel Patrick McHugh and Nina Mae (Bonham) McHugh. She was preceded in death by her brother, James McHugh.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 66 years, David Preston Comstock; her loving daughters, Laurel Ann (Comstock) Salvador and Sharon Lea Comstock; her cherished grandson, Adam Pierce Orozco-Comstock; and son in-laws Omar Salvador and David H. Orozco. She also leaves behind her siblings, Donald McHugh, Robert McHugh, John McHugh, and Lorrie (McHugh) Soltwisch, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews, whose pictures she always tucked away among her most treasured things.

Energetic and loving, strong and independent, Pat was a dedicated and playful sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. Full of surprises, she was just as likely to challenge family to a competitive game of Aggravation or a mean game of Yahtzee, as she was to dance a jitterbug to Elvis Presley or do a calypso shoulder shake to Harry Belafonte. Pat truly made family the heart of the home, creating a lifetime of holidays, birthdays, gatherings, and unforgettable stories. Fiercely loyal and devoted, she lived every day by her core principle: "family first."

She carried that same dedication into her career later in life as a valued crossing guard at Highlands School, District 106. For just over 35 years, "Mrs. Comstock" safely guided generations of children, many of whom are now adults and still fondly remember her.

She often said: "I love you BIGGER than the Universe" and open her arms wide as if embracing the world. Family carries these words in their hearts.
